singers who can't sing, voices that are overrated...

[lucykate]

give me a minute, my minds gone blank, all i can think of are bucks fizz

Yeah, he's shite isn't he 2nerves? He's good to look at - oh yessss!!!, but the voice is just pants, and what's with all the cheesy 'I'm a complete womaniser' videos that go with him. I loved him as Robbie in Take That though.

He doesn't sing well, just ok but he does have a lot of sex appeal, which gets him through.

Victoria BecKham
Geri Halliwell, in fact all of spice girls
Robbie Williams

the bloke from the lighthouse family

I don't know about can't sing but I don't get the appeal of Coldplay or any other cardigan swinging outfit.

lol at cardigan swinging. Coldplay are the most depressing band ever!

Lilly Allen

steps, saw lisa blah bah, singing at at her brothers wedding (on telly, i wasn't a guest), she sounded like nails scraping down a blackboard

Bjork aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

does anyone really think Lily Allen can sing

Message withdrawn

Agree about Mariah, Whitney, Celine - would like to add Alanis Morissette to that list of manglers

Also that none of the Beatles could really sing, although John Lennon was worst offender

Although I love him dearly, Billy Bragg has a terrible voice, same went for wonderful Ian Dury

And a big ugh to Russell Watson and also Lesley Garrett. Also find Ian Bostridge unbearable, and, controversially perhaps, Peter sodding Pears.

Chris Martin and Thom Yorke are dire, despite being interesting songwriters

I used to serve Ian Bostridge at HMV and he looks like the undead. really quite scary

I really can't start on this thread. I would rant and rant. But I can't resist adding Phil sodding Collins.

Van Morrisson sounded absolutey shocking when we saw him live a few years back, although we saw Bob Dylan at the same concert and he was really rather good (sorry, Califrau!).

LOL at undead. Have you seen him flinging himself around in that Winterreise thing MrsJC. You feel like giving him a hearty slap round the chops and really Schubert should not do this to you.
I think he thinks he's a Goya painting.

Some of those who can't sing are good songwriters.

But most who can't are talentless wastes of space.

Peter Pears?????????????? Didn't expect to read that name on this list......what a cultured lot we are!

I think most 'singers' can't sing, I really don't like Michelle McManus, Alex whateverhernamewas from Fame Academy, David Sneddon and most of the other 'I'm famous 'cos I've been on a TV show'. Oh, and Jordan.

DId the bindery phone you back marina?

yes Marina - I really can't watch him. so affectedly conspumptive and intense.
not actually keen on Peter Pears either so it's not just you.

oooh do you like my new word??
consumptive

pmsl at 'You feel like giving him a hearty slap round the chops and really Schubert should not do this to you.
I think he thinks he's a Goya painting.' - surely a candidate for next week's quote of the week!

He reminds me of that insufferable Green Gartside out of Scritti Politti, except that he is a marginally better singer than Mr Ian "I'm so frightfully exhausted" Bostridge.
I was OK with Peter Pears until I decided to listen to what the pair of them did to English folksongs . I am glad it is not just me as it has taken some years for me to resolve feeling this way about such An Important Person.
LOL at consumptive. It's the I am tormented in a way that proles like you cannot possibly relate to, posturing, isn't it.
